Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.

As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years). However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life. Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.

High safety use

This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial and/or industrial areas as a server.

When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).

The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body if such safety cannot be assured.

5 Basic software procedures

5.1 Starting the maintenance task

5.1.1 Suspending BitLocker functionality

BitLocker Drive Encryption provides protection for operating system and data drives by encrypting the contents and requiring users to authenticate their credentials to access the information. In the scenario described here, BitLocker uses the compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to detect if the computer's startup process has been modified from its original state.

I For additional information on how to use BitLocker on a computer without a compatible TPM, please refer to the "BitLocker Drive Encryption" documentation page at http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731549.aspx.

Suspending BitLocker Drive Encryption is a temporary method for removing BitLocker protection without decrypting the drive Windows is installed on. Suspend BitLocker before modifying the server’s hardware configuration or startup files. Resume BitLocker again after the maintenance procedure is complete.

V CAUTION!

– With BitLocker features enabled, modifying the system configuration (hardware or firmware settings) may render the system inaccessible. The system may enter Recovery Mode and require a 48-digits recovery password to return to normal operation.

Ensure to suspend BitLocker drive encryption before maintaining the server.

– When suspended, BitLocker uses a plain text key instead of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to read encrypted files. Keep in mind that information on this drive is not secure until BitLocker has been re-enabled.

Ê Ask the system administrator to suspend BitLocker-protection on the system volume, using the BitLocker Drive Encryption control panel item.

I This will temporarily disable BitLocker for maintenance purposes. The volume will not be decrypted and no keys will be discarded.

http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731549.aspx

5.2.10 Verifying the system time settings

I This task only applies to Linux environments.

After the system board has been replaced, the system time is set automatically. By default, the RTC (Real Time Clock) time standard is set as the local time.

If a Linux OS is used and the hardware clock has been configured as UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated) in the operating system, the BMC local time may not be mapped correctly.



Ê After replacing the system board, ask the system administrator whether the RTC or UTC time standard is to be used as system time.

I If the system time (RTC) is set to UTC, the SEL (System Event Log) time stamps may differ from the local time.

Ê Enter the BIOS.

Ê Select the Main menu.

Ê Under System Time and System Date specify the correct time and date.

I By default, the system time set in the BIOS is RTC (Real Time Clock) local time. If your IT infrastructure relies on universally accepted time standards, set the System Time to UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated) instead. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered equivalent to UTC.


I For detailed information on how to access the BIOS and modify settings, refer to the corresponding BIOS Setup Utility reference manual

5.2.11 Viewing and clearing the System Event Log (SEL)

5.2.11.1 Viewing the SEL

You can view the System Event Log (SEL) using the ServerView Operations Manager or the ServerView iRMC web frontend:

Viewing the SEL in ServerView Operations Manager

Ê In ServerView Operations Manager Single System View select Maintenance from the Information / Operation menu.

Ê Under Maintenance select System Event Log.

Ê Select the message type(s) you want to display:

– Critical events– Major events– Minor events– Informational events

I Note on the SVOM Driver Monitor



The Driver Monitor view gives you an overview of the monitored components as well as the associated events contained in the system event log on the managed server.

Under Monitored Components the monitored components are listed. If a component has the status Warning or Error, you can select it in the list and click Acknowledge. This confirms the event on the server side. You may have to log on to the server beforehand. The status of the component will then be reset to ok. To see the new status you must refresh the Driver Monitor view with Refresh.

I For detailed information on how to view and sort the SEL using ServerView Operations Manager, refer to the "ServerView Operations Manager - Server Management" user guide.

Viewing the SEL using the iRMC web frontend


Ê Select the Event Log and choose the Internal Event Log submenu.

Ê Under Internal Event Log Content the SEL is being displayed. In order to filter the list, select the check boxes next to the desired event types and press Apply for the changes to take effect.


5.2.11.2 Clearing the SEL

You can clear the System Event Log (SEL) using the ServerView iRMC web frontend:


Ê Select the Event Log and choose the Internal Event Log submenu.

Ê Under Internal Event Log Information click Clear Internal Event Log to clear the SEL.




5.2.12 Updating the NIC configuration file in a Linux environment

In order to prevent errors caused by changing network device names (eth<x>), it is recommended to store the MAC address (hardware address) of a network interface card in the related NIC configuration file of the Linux OS.

When replacing a network controller or the system board with onboard LAN controllers in a server running Linux OS, the MAC address will change but not automatically be updated in the definition file.

In order to prevent communication problems, it is necessary to update the changed MAC address stored in the related ifcfg-eth<x> definition file.

To update the MAC address, proceed as follows:

I Procedures may differ depending on your Linux OS or the definition file on the client system. Use the following information as reference. Ask the system administrator to change the definition file.

Ê After replacing a network controller or the system board, switch on and boot the server as described in section "Switching on the server" on page 58.

kudzu, the hardware configuration tool for Red Hat Linux, will launch at boot and detect the new and / or changed hardware on your system.

I kudzu may not launch at boot depending on the client’s environment.

Ê Select Keep Configuration and Ignore to complete the boot process.

Ê Use the vi text editor to specify the MAC address in the HWADDR section of the ifcfg-eth<x> file:

I The MAC address can be found on the type label attached to the system board or network controller.

Example:

In order to modify the definition file for network controller 1, enter the following command:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

In vi, specify the new MAC address as follows:

HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx



Ê Save and close the definition file.

Ê For the changes to take effect, you need to reboot the network by entering the following command:

# service network restart

I If the system board or network controller offers multiple LAN ports, it is necessary to update the remaining ifcfg-eth<x> definition files accordingly.

Ê Update the NIC configuration file to reflect the new card sequence and MAC address.

5.2.13 Resuming BitLocker functionality

If BitLocker Drive Encryption has been suspended for maintenance purposes (see section "Suspending BitLocker functionality" on page 63), it has to be re-enabled to complete the service task.

I If BitLocker Drive Encryption has been suspended prior to replacing components you won't be asked for a recovery key when rebooting the server after the maintenance task. However, if BitLocker functionality has not been suspended, Windows will enter recovery mode and ask you to input recovery key for further booting.

Ê In this case, ask the system administrator to enter the recovery key in order to boot the operating system.

Ê Ask the system administrator to enable the previously suspended BitLocker-protection on the system volume, using the BitLocker Drive Encryption control panel item:

For Windows Server 2008:

Ê Open BitLocker Drive Encryption by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Security, and then clicking BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Ê Select the system volume, and click Turn On BitLocker.



For Windows Server 2008 R2 and above:

Ê Open BitLocker Drive Encryption by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then clicking BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Ê Select the system volume, and click Resume Protection.

I For further information on how to resume BitLocker drive encryption, please refer to the Microsoft TechNet library at http://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731549.aspx.


5.2.14 Performing a RAID array rebuild

After replacing a hard disk drive that has been combined into a RAID array, RAID rebuild will be performed completely unattended as a background process.

Ê Ensure that the RAID array rebuild has started normally. Wait until the progress bar has reached at least one percent.

Ê Inform the customer about the remaining rebuild time, based on the displayed duration estimate.

Figure 21: Progress bar (RAID array rebuild)

7 Hard disk drives / solid state drives

Safety notes

V CAUTION!

● The hard disk drive or solid state drive must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone except a service technician.

● The HDD/SSD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not done, existing data can be lost.

● The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corresponding RAID configuration.

Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can be found in the RAID controller documentation.


● Before removing the unit, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk stops spinning completely.

● When a hard disk drive is starting up, a resonant noise may be audible for a short while. This does not indicate a failure.

● Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for the hard disk drives. If a power failure should occur while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.

● When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk drive or solid state drive, wipe out the data on the drive for your own security.

● Rough handling of hard disk drives may damage the stored data. To cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make backups on a file or partition basis.

● Be careful not to hit the hard disk drive or bring it into contact with metallic objects.

● Handle the device on a shock and vibration free surface.


Hard disk drives / solid state drives

● Do not use the device in extremely hot or cold locations, or locations with extreme temperature changes.

● Never attempt to disassemble the hard disk drive or solid state drive.



The hard disk drives or solid state drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY RX200 S8 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during operation. The hard disk drive or solid state drive and the installation frame together make up the HDD module or SSD module.

The server is shipped with one of the following configurations:

– configuration with up to four HDD/SSD modules and optional ODD– configuration with up to eight HDD/SSD modules

Each HDD/SSD module can accommodate a SAS/SATA hard disk drive or SATA solid state drive with a 2.5-inch format. The HDD/SSD modules are connected to the HDD backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD/SSD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily. If the server has a corresponding RAID configuration, defective HDD/SSD modules can also be replaced during operation.

Hybrid configurations of SAS and SATA HDD/SSD modules are not supported.

I For information on RAID controllers controlling the HDD/SSD modules see chapter "Expansion cards and backup units" on page 137.

7.1.1 General equipping rules

– Solid state drives (SSDs) are always equipped before installing hard disk drives.

– If only one HDD/SSD module is installed, the HDD/SSD module will be installed in position 1. Free bays must be equipped with a dummy module.

Safety notes

V CAUTION!

● Do not damage or modify internal cables or devices. Doing so may cause a device failure, fire, or electric shock.

● Devices inside the server remain hot after shutdown. Wait for a while after shutdown before installing or removing internal options.

● The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed and can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling them, first touch a metal part of the server to discharge static electricity from your body.


● If devices are installed or disassembled using methods other than those outlined in this chapter, the warranty will be invalidated.

● The installation indicated on this note is sometimes changed to the kind of possible options without notice.



Fans


Base units are supplied with four hot-plug fan modules (single CPU configuration and depending on CPU type) or six hot-plug fan modules (two CPUs configuration and depending on CPU type). Each fan module consists of two fans, implemented in one housing.

Base units with four fan modules operate in a 1 of 4 redundancy, base units with six fan modules operate in a 1 of 6 redundancy. In other words, if one of the four or six fan modules fails, the system will operate without any problem. The failed fan module can be exchanged without shutting down the server.

Note on BBU charging and calibration

The BBU may be deeply discharged due to extended storage time and wrongly show as bad or defective in the ServerView RAID Manager.

In this case, the BBU will automatically enter a trickle charge cycle for recovery. This initial charge may take up to 12 hours before the BBU will initiate a recalibration cycle.

Ê Enter the ServerView RAID Manager and check the current BBU status.


Ê If the BBU is shown as bad or defective, do not power off the server for at least 12 hours to allow the charge and calibration cycles to finish.

Ê If the BBU status does not change after 12 hours, please try to initiate the recalibration process manually using the ServerView RAID Manager.

I If this procedure still does not fix the BBU status, please contact your local Fujitsu customer service partner.

10.1.1 Memory sequence

10.1.1.1 Population rules

– Populate memory slot 1 / channel A (DIMM 1A) first.

– In case of dual processor configurations, populate memory slot 1 / channel E (DIMM 1E) second.

– Within all channels, memory slot 1 must be populated prior to slot 2.Slot 2 must be populated prior to Slot 3 (for all CPUs).

– If memory modules with different ranks are used, always populate the higher number rank DIMM first (starting from slot 1).

– If memory modules with different capacities are used:

– Populate modules with higher capacities first.– Within a channel, populate modules in descending order of capacity.

– If memory modules with different speeds are used, the lowest clock rate applies for all DIMMs.

Regardless of the mode, all DIMMs will run at the highest common frequency that is allowed by the SPD Data of the DIMMs and the maximum speed of the selected configuration.

– Mixing UDIMMs, RDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not allowed.

– Mixing ECC and non-ECC DIMMs is not allowed.

– Mixing of quad-rank DIMMs in one channel and three DIMMs in another channel (3DPC) on the same CPU is not allowed.

Notes on Rank Sparing mode

– Same numbers mean identical modules (capacity, rank)

– In case of Single-/Dual-Rank memory configurations, at least two 1R or 2R modules must be populated per a channel.

– In case of Quad-Rank memory modules, please note the following: Due to performance reasons, always populate a new channel before installing the 3rd memory slot of a channel.

– Only one memory module capacity per CPU is allowed.

If two different memory module capacities have been ordered for Rank Sparing mode, populate them on different CPUs, so that each CPUs only comprises modules of one capacity

Example:

12 modules have been ordered, 8 x 4 GB and 4 x 8 GB.In this case, proceed as follows:

Ê Use the capacity group with more memory modules for CPU 1 and populate them according to the population sequence for mono CPU configurations.

Ê Populate the other capacity group on CPU 2 according to the population rules for mono CPU configurations.

11.2 Upgrading to dual processor configuration

V CAUTION!

– Processors are modules which are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharges and therefore must always be handled with care. After a processor has been removed from its protective sleeve or from its socket, place it with its smooth side down on a non-conducting, antistatic surface. Never push a processor over a surface.

– Only processors of the same type may be used on the system board. That means the number of the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the QPI frequency have to be the same.

– For dual operation, use a suitable multiprocessor operating system.

15.7 Replacing the system board

Note on TPM

I The system board can be equipped with an optional TPM (Trusted Platform Module). This module enables third party programs to store key information (e. g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).

If the customer is using TPM functionality, the TPM has to be removed from the defective system board and connected to the new system board. For a detailed description, please refer to section "Replacing the TPM" on page 299.

The TPM is activated in the system BIOS.

V CAUTION!

– Before replacing the system board, ask the customer whether TPM functionality is used.



Tools: Replacing the system board:


– Magnifying glass for inspecting processor socket springs (recommended)

Replacing the TPM:


– thin slotted screw driver (2 x 0.4 mm) (*)


– Dedicated TPM screw driver (CWZ8291A)– TPM module fixing tool (S26361-F3552-L909)

If an UFM is installed:




– If the customer is using TPM functionality, remove the TPM from the old system board and install it on the new system board.

Advise your contact persons that they must provide you with TPM backup copies. For security reasons, the TPM must be restored / re-saved by the customer. After installing a new system board the TPM must be enabled. You may not clear the TPM data.

If the contact persons DO NOT have a backup copy available, inform them that replacing the TPM board will cause to lose all data.

Note on system information backup / restore

I The front panel board contains the Chassis ID EPROM that contains system information like server name and model, housing type, serial number and manufacturing data.

To avoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the system board, a backup copy of important system configuration data is automatically stored from the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM. After replacing the system board the backup data is restored from the front panel board to the new system board.

V CAUTION!

For that reason the front panel board and system board must not be replaced simultaneously! In this case, restoring the system configuration data on the system board would fail.

Note on network settings recovery

I When replacing network controllers or the system board, network configuration settings in the operating system will be lost and replaced by default values. This applies to all static IP address and LAN teaming configurations.

Ensure to note down your current network settings before replacing a network controller or the system board.





Ê "Note on network settings recovery" on page 311





Ê Disconnect all external cables.

11Power-on indicator

green on server is switched on and running

orange on

server is switched off, but mains voltage is present (standby mode)

I After connecting the server to the mains it takes about 60 secondes until the server enters the standby mode.

With firmware version 7.3.x, two new operating conditions are indicated: iRMC booting and power-on delay.

yellow / orange flashing

iRMC booting

I After connecting the server to the mains (power cord plugged in / after mains failure) the iRMC will boot. The system cannot be switched on, until the iRMC boot sequence is complete. During this time, the power-on indicator will flash yellow/orange.

yellow on

Power-on delay

I After shutting down, the server cannot be switched on again right away. If the On/Off button is pressed right after shutting down the server, the power-on indicator will light up yellow until the delay period ends and the server will boot.

Appendix



Ê Take the system down to its minimum startup configuration.


Ê Connect a keyboard, mouse and display to the server.


V CAUTION!

Since the fan module is not included in the minimum startup configuration, the server must be shut down immediately after the diagnostic process is complete (POST phase has been passed).

The minimum startup configuration must be used exclusively for diagnostic purposes by maintenance personnel, never in daily operation!
